Section 11.06 – Village of Grand Beach Signage

The provisions of this Article shall not apply to Village of Grand Beach bulletin boards, traffic or beach signage or
other signs authorized by the Village Council of a public nature.

The formulation and enactment of this Zoning Ordinance is based upon the division of the Village into zoning
districts, each of which include permitted uses which are mutually compatible. In addition to such permitted uses in
districts, however, it is recognized that there are certain specific or unique uses which may be necessary or desirable to
allow in definable locations in certain districts; but, which on account of their actual or potential impact on neighboring
uses or public facilities, need to be carefully regulated with respect to their location for the protection of the
permitted uses in a district. Such uses, on account of their peculiar locational need or the nature of the service offered,
may have to be established in a district in which they cannot be reasonably allowed as an unrestricted permitted use.

Section 12.02 – Authority to Grant Permits

Applications for special land uses shall be submitted to the Village Clerk on a form prepared for the purpose, which
shall be available from the Village Clerk. Each application shall be made by the fee owner and any other owner of record of

Section 13.10 –Site Plan Review Standards

In reviewing a preliminary or final site plan, the Planning Commission and Village Council shall ascertain whether
the proposed site plan is consistent with the regulations and objectives of this Ordinance and shall endeavor to assure
that they conform to the following standards:

A. Preservation of Natural Environment: Existing conditions of the natural environment shall be preserved in their
natural state, insofar as practicable, by minimizing vegetation and soil removal, and any grade changes shall be in keeping
with the general appearance of adjacent and surrounding uses and development.

B. Relations of Proposed Land; Building; and Structural Uses to Environment: Proposed uses and structures shall be
related harmoniously to the natural environment and to existing uses and structures in the vicinity that have a visual
relationship to the proposed development. The achievement of such relationship may include the enclosure of space in
conjunction with existing uses and structures or other proposed uses and structures and the creation of special
arrangements and focal points with respect to functional areas, avenues of approach, terrain features or other structures.

C. Drives, Parking and Circulation, Vehicular and Pedestrian Circulation, Including Walkways, Interior Drives and
Parking: Special attention shall be given to location and number of access points, general interior circulation, separation
of pedestrian and vehicular traffic, and arrangement of parking areas that are safe and convenient and, insofar as
practicable, do not adversely effect the design of proposed land, buildings and structures and adjacent and surrounding
development areas.

D. Surface Water Drainage: Special attention shall be given to proper site surface drainage so that the flow of
surface waters will not adversely affect adjacent and surrounding properties or the public storm drainage system. Surface
water in all paved areas shall be collected at intervals so that it will not obstruct the flow of vehicular or pedestrian
traffic, and will not create impounded water on the paved areas. Also, the applicant shall demonstrate in the site plan
that there exists sufficient protection to ensure that there will be no additional storm-water runoff created by the
proposed special land use other than that which is natural to the lot or parcel and existed prior to development; or that
adequate and full measures have been taken to accommodate any additional storm-water runoff on the proposed site location.

E. Utility Service: Electric power and telephone distribution lines shall be underground. Any utility installations
remaining above ground shall be located so as to have a harmonious relation to adjacent properties and the site. The
proposed methods of water supply, fire hydrants, and sanitary sewage disposal for all buildings shall be indicated.

F. Additional Requirements: All other standards and requirements of this Article must be met by site plans presented
for review.

Section 13.11 – Modification of Procedure

An applicant may, at his or her discretion and risk, seek to combine the preliminary and final site plan review steps
in their application for approval. Upon such a request, the portion of the review process covering the preliminary site
plan application and review may be waived by the Planning Commission.

However, all information, materials, data, etc. required for preliminary review that is not already required for
final review shall also be submitted. Therefore, the Village will have all of the same information they would have received
otherwise. Also, if a public hearing is required for the proposed development and was scheduled to occur during the
preliminary review, this will not bypass that requirement. The hearing will be held during the consolidated review.

The Planning Commission shall make a determination whether to allow for the consolidation of the procedures based on
the complexities in the application and/or the scale of the site and the proposed development and determine if it warrants
the need for both the preliminary and final site plan review and approval procedures.

Section 13.12 – Amendment of an Approved Site Plan

A site plan may be amended upon application and in accordance with the procedure provided in Section 13.08 herein for
a preliminary site plan, and Section 13.09 herein, for a final site plan, provided that the change will not exceed the
requirements of the zoning district, or if in a Planned Unit Development, the requirements as approved under the Planned
Unit Development. Such an amendment shall be permitted only under the following circumstances:

A. The owner of property for which a site plan has been approved shall notify the Zoning Administrator of any desired
change to the approved site plan. Minor changes may be approved by the Zoning Administrator upon determining that the
proposed revision(s) will not alter the basic design and character of the site plan, nor any specified conditions imposed
as part of the original approval nor will it result in the violation of a standard of the Zoning Ordinance. A minor change
in a preliminary site plan may be incorporated into a final site plan with the approval of the Zoning Administrator. Minor
changes shall include the following:

1. Reduction of the size of any building and/or sign

2. Movement of buildings and/or signs by no more than 10 feet.

3. Landscaping approved in the site plan that is replaced by similar landscaping to an equal or greater extent.

4. Changes in floor plans that do not exceed five percent (5%) of the total floor area and which do not alter the
character of the use or increase the amount of required parking.

5. Internal rearrangement of a parking lot which does not affect the number of parking spaces or alter access
locations or design.

6. Changes related to items 1 through 5 above required or requested by the Village of Grand Beach, Berrien County, or
other state or federal regulatory agencies in order to conform with other laws or regulations; provided the extent of such
changes does not alter the basic design and character of the site plan, nor any specified conditions imposed as part of the
original approval.

7. All amendments to a site plan approved by the Zoning Administrator shall be in writing. After approval by the
Zoning Administrator, the Applicant shall prepare a revised site plan showing the approved amendment. The revised site plan
shall contain a list of all approved amendments and a place for the Zoning Administrator to sign and date all approved
amendments.

B. An amendment to an approved site plan that cannot be processed by the Zoning Administrator under Section 13.12.A
above shall be processed in the same manner as the original preliminary or final site plan application.

Section 13.13 – Modification During Construction

All improvements shall conform to the approved final site plan. If the applicant chooses to make any material changes
in the development in relation to the approved final site plan, he shall notify the Zoning Administrator prior to making
the changes to ensure that the changes satisfy the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.

Section 13.14 – Phasing of Development

The applicant may, at his discretion, divide the proposed development into two (2) or more phases. In such case, the
preliminary site plan, by showing the entire development area, shall clearly indicate the location, size, and characterof
each proposed phase. The individual phases shall be approved through the final site plan review process (Section13.09). A
final site plan for each phase shall be submitted for approval.

Section 13.15 – Inspection

All subgrade improvements, such as utilities, subbase and base installations for streets, drives and parking lots,
and similar improvements shall be inspected by the Zoning Administrator or other appropriate official and approved prior to
covering. The Zoning Administrator shall be responsible for the inspection of all improvements for conformanceto the
approved final site plan. The applicant shall be responsible for requesting the necessary inspections. The Zoning
Administrator shall notify the Village Council, in writing, when a development for which a final site plan was approved
which does not pass inspection with respect to conformance with the approved final site plan, and shall advise the Council
of steps taken to achieve compliance. In such case, the Zoning Administrator shall periodically notify the Village Council
of progress towards compliance with the approved final site plan, and when compliance is achieved.

Section 13.16 – Fees

Fees for the review of site plans and inspections as required by this Article shall be established, and may be
amended, by resolution of the Village Council. The fee schedule established by the Village Council shall include a special
schedule of fees to cover large and costly projects so as to adequately cover the costs of the Village inspections of such
projects as required under the provisions of this Ordinance.

Section 13.17 – Financial Guarantees

Surety bonds, cash deposits, irrevocable bank or finance company’s letters of credit, certified checks or other
acceptable forms of security may be required of the applicant and approved by the Village Council after a final site plan
is approved and prior to issuance of a Zoning Permit for certain site improvements such as, but not limited to, streets or
drives, parking lots, grading, landscaping, and buffers. A schedule for such security shall be established by resolution of
the Village Council, and shall be administered by the Village Treasurer and Clerk. Such security may be released in
proportion to work completed and approved upon inspection as complying with the approved final site plan. In the event that
the applicant shall fail to provide improvements according to the approved final site plan, the Village Council shall have
the authority to have such work completed, and to reimburse itself for costs of such workby appropriating funds from the
deposited security, or may require performance by the bonding, bank or finance company.

Section 13.18 – Violations

The approved final site plan shall regulate development of the property. Any violation of this Article, including any
improvement not in conformance with an approved final site plan, shall be deemed a violation of this Article, and shall be
subject to the penalties of this Ordinance as specified in Article XV.

Section 13.19 – As-Built Site Plan

Upon completion of the installation of required improvements as shown on the approved final site plan, the property
owner shall submit to the Village Clerk one electronic copy and three prints of an “as-built” site plan, certified by the
engineer or surveyor, at least one week prior to the anticipated occupancy of any building. The Village Clerk shall
circulate the as-built plans among the appropriate persons for review to insure conformity with the approved final site
plan and other Village of Grand Beach requirements. Once those persons have approved the as-built plans, the final
inspection prior to the issuance of the Occupancy Permit may occur.

ARTICLE XIV

NONCONFORMING LOTS, USES, AND STRUCTURES

Section 14.01 – Purpose

It is the intent of this Ordinance to permit the continuance of a lawful use of any building or land as they were
existing at the effective date of this Ordinance, although such use of land or structure may not conform with the
provisions of this Ordinance. Further, it is the intent of this Ordinance that non-conformities shall not be enlarged upon,
expanded or extended, nor used as grounds for adding other structures or uses prohibited elsewhere in the same districts.
The continuance of all nonconforming uses and structures within the Village shall be subject to the conditions and
requirements set forth in this section.

Section 14.02 – Nonconforming Lots

A. Notwithstanding limitations imposed by other provisions of this Ordinance, any permitted use in a district and its
customary accessory uses may be erected on any lot of record subsequent to the effective date of adoption or amendment to
this Ordinance. This provision shall apply even though such lot fails to meet any of the dimensional requirements for the
District in which such lot is located. Any such development of a nonconforming lot shall conform to the regulations of the
district in which it is located.

B. If two (2) or more lots, combination of lots, or portions of lots are contiguous and have continuous frontage in
single ownership, are of record at the time of passage or amendment of this Ordinance, and if all or part of the lots do
not meet the requirements for lot width and area as established bythis Ordinance, the lands involved shall be considered to
be an undivided parcel for the purposes of this Article, and no portion of said lots or parcels shall be used or occupied
by a principal use which does not meet lot width and area requirements established by this Ordinance, nor shall any
division of the parcel be made which leaves remaining any lot with width or area below the requirements stated in this
Ordinance.

Section 14.03 – Nonconforming Uses of Land

A. No nonconforming uses of land shall be enlarged or increased, or extended to occupy a greater area of land than
was occupied at the effective date of adoption or amendment of this Article, except as otherwise provided for in this
Article.

B. No such nonconforming use of land shall be moved in whole or in part to any other portion of the lot or parcel
occupied by the use at the effective date of adoption or amendments of this Article.

C. Whenever a nonconforming use has been discontinued for one (1) year, such discontinuance shall be considered
conclusive evidence of an intention to abandon legally the nonconforming use. At the end of this period of abandonment, the
nonconforming use shall not be reestablished.

Section 14.04 – Nonconforming Structures

A. No such nonconforming structure may be enlarged or altered in a way which increases its nonconformity.

B. Should the structure be destroyed by any means – on purpose or by act of God – it may be reconstructed provided
there is no increase in the footprint of the original structure. For purposes of this paragraph, “footprint of the original
structure” shall be limited to the structure’s foundationand shall not include roof eaves, cantilevers, decks, or other
attached projections. All other zoningrequirements in the zoning district must be met. (As amended by ordinance
number2012-83 effective on October 9, 2012)

C. Should the structure be moved for any reason for any distance whatsoever, it shall thereafter conform to the
regulations for the district in which it is located after it is moved.

D. Whenever a nonconforming structure has been destroyed or damaged and remains uninhabitable for one (1) year, such
shall be considered conclusive evidence of an intention to abandon legally the nonconforming structure. Any future use or
occupancy shall be in conformity with the provisions of this Ordinance.

Section 14.05 – Nonconforming Uses of Structures and Land

A. No existing structure devoted to a use not permitted by this Article in the district in which it is located shall
be enlarged, extended, constructed, reconstructed, moved, or structurally altered except in changing the use of the
structure to a use permitted in the district in which it is located.

B. Any nonconforming use may be extended throughout any part of a building which was manifestly arranged or designed
for its use, and which existed at the time of adoption or amendment of this Article, but no use shall be extended to occupy
any land outside the building.

C. Any structure, or structure and land in combination, in or on which a nonconforming use is superseded by a
permitted use, shall thereafter conform to the regulations pertaining to the uses permitted in the district in which the
structure is located, and the nonconforming use may not thereafter be resumed.

D. Whenever a nonconforming use of land and structures has been discontinued for one (1) year,such discontinuance
shall be considered conclusive evidence of an intention to abandon legally the nonconforming use. At the end of this period
of abandonment, the nonconforming use shall not be reestablished.

E. Where nonconforming use status applies to a structure and premises in combination, removal or destruction of the
structure shall eliminate the nonconforming status of the land.

F. Change to Another Lesser Nonconforming Use

1. The Village Zoning Board of Appeals may authorize a change from one nonconforminguse to another nonconforming use
or modification of a nonconforming structure to a lesser nonconformity, provided that the proposed use or structure would
be more suitable to the zoning district in which it is located than the nonconforming use or structure which it is
replacing.

2. In permitting the change, the Zoning Board of Appeals may require appropriate conditions and safeguards in
accordance with the purpose of this Article.

Section 14.06 – Modification to Nonconforming Uses or Structures

A. General Provisions No nonconforming use or structure shall be enlarged, extended, expanded, or structurally
altered, nor shall any accessory use, building or structure be established therewith unless the resultant use or structure
conforms to the provisions of this Ordinance for the district in which it is located except as provided below.

B. Repairs, Improvements and Modernization

1. Required Repairs: Repairs or maintenance necessary to keep a nonconforming building structurally safe and sound
are permitted. However, if a non-conforming structure or a structure containing a nonconforming use becomes physically
unsafe and/or unlawful, as determined by the Building Official, due to lack of maintenance and repairs, it shall not
thereafter be restored, repaired, or rebuilt except in full conformity with the regulations in the district in which it is
located.

2. Additional Permitted Improvements: Additional repairs, improvements, or modernization of nonconforming structures,
beyond what is required to maintain the safety and soundness of the structure, shall be permitted provided such repairs or
improvements do not result in enlargement of the cubic content of the nonconforming structure.C. Enlargement, Extension, or
Alteration

1. Increase in Nonconformity Prohibited: Except as specifically provided in this section, no person may engage in any
activity that causes an increase in the extent of any nonconformity. For example, physical alteration of structures or the
placement of new structures on open land is unlawful if such activity results in:

i. An increase in the total amount of space devoted to a nonconforming use, or

ii. Greater nonconformity with respect to dimensional restrictions, such as setback requirements, height limitations,
density requirements, or other requirements in the district in which the property is located.

2. Alterations that Decrease Nonconformity: Any nonconforming structure or any structure or portion thereof
containing a nonconforming use, may be altered if such alteration serves to decrease the nonconforming nature of the
structure or use. The Zoning Board of Appeals shall determine if a proposed alteration will decrease the degree of
nonconformity.

3. Variations to Dimensional Requirements: If a proposed alteration is deemed reasonable by the Zoning Board of
Appeals by virtue of the fact that it would decrease the nonconforming nature of a structure or use, but such alteration
requires a variance from the dimensional requirements, then such alteration shall be permitted only if a variance is
granted by theZoning Board of Appeals.

4. Expansion in Conforming Areas: A nonconforming structure may be expanded if the proposed expansion conforms with
all current development regulations for the district in which it is located.

Section 14.07 – Prior Construction Approval

Nothing in this Ordinance shall prohibit the completion of construction and use of a nonconforming building for which
a building permit has been issued prior to the effective date of this Ordinance, provided that construction is commenced
within 90 days after the date of issuance of the permit, that construction is carried on diligently and without
interruption for a continuous period in excess of 30 days; and that the entire building shall have been completed according
to the plans filed with the permit application within two (2) years after the issuance of the building permit.

Section 14.08 – Illegal Nonconforming Uses

Those nonconforming uses which are created after the effective date of this Ordinance shall be declared illegal
nonconforming uses and shall be discontinued. Uses which were illegal under a prior Ordinance and which do not conform to
this Ordinance shall continue to be illegal. The Village, upon discovery of a violation of this section may initiate action
to eliminate the illegal nonconforming use or structure in the Circuit Court for Berrien County as a nuisance per se.

Section 14.09 – Changes in Zoning District

Whenever the boundaries of a district shall be changed so as to transfer an area from one district to another
district or another classification, the foregoing provisions shall also apply to any existing uses that become
nonconforming as a result of the boundary changes.

Section 14.10 – Elimination of Nonconforming Uses

The Village Council may acquire properties on which nonconforming buildings or uses are located, by condemnation or
other means, and may remove such uses or structures. The resultant property may be leased or sold for a conforming use or
may be used by the Village for a public purpose. The net cost of such acquisition may be assessed against a benefit
district, or may be paid from other sources or revenue.

CONDITIONAL REZONING

Section 17.08 – Purpose

advantageous to property owners seeking a change in zoning boundaries, if certain conditions could be proposed by property
owners as part of a request for a rezoning. It is the intent of this Section to provide a process consistent with the
provisions of Michigan Public Act 110 of 2006, as amended by which an owner seeking a rezoning mayvoluntarily propose
conditions regarding the use and/or development of land as part of the rezoning request.

Section 17.09 – Application and Offer of Conditions

A. An owner of land may voluntarily offer in writing conditions relating to the use and/or development of land for
which a rezoning is requested. This offer may be made either at the time the application for rezoning is filed or may be
made at a later time during the rezoning process.

B. The required application and process for considering a rezoning request with conditions shall be the same as that
for considering rezoning requests made without any offer of conditions, except as modified by the requirements of this
Section.

C. The owner’s offer of conditions may not purport to authorize uses or developments not permitted in the requested
new zoning district.

D. The owner's offer of conditions shall bear a reasonable and rational relationship to the property for which
rezoning is requested.

E. Any use or development proposed as part of an offer of conditions that would require a special land use permit
under the terms of this Ordinance may only be commenced if a special land use permit for such use or development is
ultimately granted in accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance.

F. Any use or development proposed as part of an offer of conditions that would require a varianceunder the terms of
this Ordinance may only be commenced if a variance for such use or development is ultimately granted by the Zoning Board of
Appeals in accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance.

G. Any use or development proposed as part of an offer of conditions that would require site plan approval under the
terms of this Ordinance may only be commenced if site plan approval for such use or development is ultimately granted in
accordance with the provisions of this Ordinance.

H. The offer of conditions may be amended during the process of rezoning consideration provided that any amended or
additional conditions are entered voluntarily by the owner. An owner may withdraw all or part of its offer of conditions
any time prior to final rezoning action of the Village Council provided that, if such withdrawal occurs subsequent to the
Planning Commission’s public hearing on theoriginal rezoning request, then the rezoning application shall be referred to
the Planning Commission for a new public hearing with appropriate notice and a new recommendation.

Section 17.10 – Planning Commission Review

The Planning Commission, after public hearing and consideration of the factors for rezoning set forth in Section17.05
of this Ordinance, may recommend approval or denial of the rezoning; provided, however, that any recommended changes to the
offer of conditions are acceptable to and thereafter offered by the owner.

Section 17.11 – Village Council Review

After receipt of the Planning Commission’s recommendation, the Village Council shall deliberate upon the requested
rezoning and may approve or deny the conditional rezoning request. The Village Council's deliberations shall include,
but not be limited to, a consideration of the factors for rezoning set forth in Section 12.05 of this Ordinance. The
Village Council may hold a public hearing as provided in Section 401 of Michigan Public Act 110 of 2006, as amended.

Section 17.12 – Approval

A. If the Village Council finds the rezoning request and offer of conditions acceptable, the offered conditions shall
be incorporated into a formal written Statement of Conditions acceptable to the owner and conforming in form to the
provisions of this Section. The Statement of Conditions shall be incorporated by attachment or otherwise as an inseparable
part of the ordinance adopted by the Village Council to accomplish the requested rezoning.

B. The Statement of Conditions shall:

1. Be in a form recordable with the Register of Deeds of the County in which the subject land is located or, in the
alternative, be accompanied by a recordable Affidavit or Memorandum prepared and signed by the owner giving notice of the
Statement of Conditions in a manner acceptable to the Village Council.

2. Contain a legal description of the land to which it pertains.

3. Contain a statement acknowledging that the Statement of Conditions runs with the land and is binding upon
successor owners of the land.

4. Incorporate by attachment or reference any diagram, plans or other documents submitted or approved by the owner
that are necessary to illustrate the implementation of the Statement of Conditions. If any such documents are incorporated
by reference, the reference shall specify where the document may be examined.

5. Contain a statement acknowledging that the Statement of Conditions or an Affidavit or Memorandum giving notice
thereof may be recorded by the Village with the Register of Deeds of the County in which the land referenced in the
Statement of Conditions is located.

6. Contain the notarized signatures of all of the owners of the subject land preceded by a statement attesting to the
fact that they voluntarily offer and consent to the provisions contained within the Statement of Conditions.

C. Upon the rezoning taking effect, the Zoning Map shall be amended to reflect the new zoning classification along
with a designation that the land was rezoned with a Statement of Conditions. The Village Clerk shall maintain a listing of
all lands rezoned with a Statement of Conditions.

D. The approved Statement of Conditions or an Affidavit or Memorandum giving notice thereof shall be filed by the
Village with the Register of Deeds of the County in which the land is located. The Village Council shall have authority to
waive this requirement if it determines that, given the nature of the conditions and/or the time frame within which the
conditions are to be satisfied, the recording of such a document would be of no material benefit to the Village or to any
subsequent owner of the land.

E. Upon the rezoning taking effect, the use of the land so rezoned shall conform thereafter to all of the
requirements regulating use and development within the new zoning district as modified by any more restrictive provisions
contained in the Statement of Conditions.

Section 17.13 – Compliance with Conditions

A. Any person who establishes a development or commences a use upon land that has been rezoned with conditions shall
continuously operate and maintain the development or use in compliance with all of the conditions set forth in the
Statement of Conditions. Any failure to comply with a condition contained within the Statement of Conditions shall
constitute a violation of this Zoning Ordinance and be punishable accordingly. Additionally, any such violation shall be
deemed a nuisance per se and subject to judicial abatement as provided by law.

B. No permit or approval shall be granted under this Ordinance for any use or development that is contrary to an
applicable Statement of Conditions.

Section 17.14 – Time Period for Establishing Development or Use

Unless another time period is specified in the Ordinance rezoning the subject land, the approved development and/or
use of the land pursuant to building and other required permits must be commenced upon the land within 18 months after the
rezoning took effect and thereafter proceed diligently to completion. This time limitation may upon written request be
extended by the Village Council if (1) it is demonstrated to the Village Council’s reasonable satisfaction that there is a
strong likelihood that the development and/or use will commence within the period of extension and proceed diligently
thereafter to completion and (2) the Village Council finds that there has not been a change in circumstances that would
render the current zoning with Statement of Conditions incompatible with other zones and uses in the surrounding area or
otherwise inconsistent with sound zoning policy.

Section 17.15 – Reversion of Zoning

If approved development and/or use of the rezoned land does not occur within the time frame specified under
Section17.14 above, then the land shall revert to its former zoning classification. The reversion process shall be
initiated by the Village Council requesting that the Planning Commission proceed with consideration of rezoning of the land
to its former zoning classification. The procedure for considering and making this reversionary rezoning shall thereafter
be the same as applies to all other rezoning requests.

Section 17.16 – Subsequent Rezoning of Land

When land that is rezoned with a Statement of Conditions is thereafter rezoned to a different zoning classification
or to the same zoning classification but with a different or no Statement of Conditions, whether as a result of a reversion
of zoning pursuant to section 17.15 above or otherwise, the Statement of Conditions imposed under the former zoning
classification shall cease to be in effect. Upon the owner's written request, the Village Clerk shall record with

the Register of Deeds of the County in which the land is located a notice that the Statement of Conditions is no
longer in effect.

Section 17.17 – Amendment of Conditions

A. During the time period for commencement of an approved development or use specified pursuant to Section 17.14
above or during any extension thereof granted by the Village Council, the Village shall not add to or alter the conditions
in the Statement of Conditions.

B. The Statement of Conditions may be amended thereafter in the same manner as was prescribed for the original
rezoning and Statement of Conditions.

Section 17.18 – Village Right to Rezone

Nothing in the Statement of Conditions nor in the provisions of this Section shall be deemed to prohibit the Village
from rezoning all or any portion of land that is subject to a Statement of Conditions to another zoning classification. Any
rezoning shall be conducted in compliance with this Ordinance and Michigan Public Act 110 of 2006, as amended.

Section 17.19 – Failure to Offer Conditions

The Village shall not require an owner to offer conditions as a requirement for rezoning. The lack of an offer of
conditions shall not affect an owner’s rights under this Ordinance.
